ORUBEBE CELEBRATES PRESIDENT TINUBU ON TWO-YEAR MILESTONE

By Hon. Prince Edumogiren Augustine.

Elder Godsday Peter Orubebe, CON, a venerable statesman and former Minister of Niger-Delta Affairs, has epitomized wisdom and leadership in Nigeria for decades. His deep insight into the country’s political landscape, coupled with an unwavering commitment to national advancement, has solidified his stature as a respected figure within the All Progressives Congress (APC). On this momentous occasion of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu marking two years in office, Orubebe seizes the opportunity to spotlight the remarkable progress achieved under the President’s stewardship while calling for united support for his continuing endeavors.

Elder Orubebe offers heartfelt congratulations to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, as he commemorates the significant milestone of completing the first two years of his administration. He emphasizes that reaching this pivotal juncture is a commendable achievement, conveying his best wishes for the President’s continued success as he navigates the latter half of his tenure.

Orubebe commends the unwavering dedication and tireless commitment displayed by President Tinubu throughout his administration. He lauds the President’s exceptional leadership and visionary approach, which have been instrumental in steering Nigeria toward a brighter horizon.

Recognized as the key figure stepping into the leadership void left by the late Ijaw National Leader, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark, Orubebe underscores the impressive accomplishments of President Tinubu over the past two years. He asserts, “Were it not for Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decisive victory in the 2023 elections, Nigeria might find itself in dire straits today. His bold move to eliminate the subsidy on petroleum products – an endeavor that previous administrations hesitated to undertake – has unleashed a multitude of advantages for our nation. Governors across the political spectrum are now expressing their gratitude for the increased allocations to their states, empowering them to initiate projects and manage their governance without the need for borrowing.”

Orubebe further highlights that the strategic decision to float the Naira, along with other prudent monetary policies, has invigorated both foreign and domestic investors, who are now eager to engage in a wide array of sectors within the Nigerian economy.

Moreover, the APC leader extol the significant infrastructure initiatives such as the ongoing Coastal Road Project, which will connect Lagos to Calabar, traversing through Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and culminating in Cross River State.

The Ijaw Leader envisions the initiative of the Lagos-Kano motorway, approximately 1,000 kilometers, as far more than merely a roadway; it stands an economic corridor that seamlessly links four geopolitical zones, including the federal capital city, Abuja, and integrates railways and other critical infrastructure currently under development to foster trade and facilitate the efficient movement of people.

Orubebe also commends the Tinubu administration for its unwavering commitment to combatting insecurity, addressing terrorism, banditry, and other criminal activities that plagued the nation upon the President’s assumption of office. He believes this steadfast resolve has rekindled hope and confidence among Nigerians, paving the way for a more secure and prosperous future.

As he reflects on the transformation witnessed during these two years of President Tinubu’s leadership, the elder statesman articulates his pride in the significant changes that have occurred. He expresses profound optimism for the achievements yet to come in the remaining two years of the President’s tenure, reaffirming his unwavering support for Tinubu’s ongoing efforts and his steadfast belief in the President’s capabilities.

Looking toward the horizon of Nigeria’s future, Orubebe conveys a profound sense of hope, inspired by President Tinubu’s resolute determination and visionary leadership. He firmly believes that as the nation strides forward, the President’s unwavering commitment will serve as a cornerstone in shaping a more radiant tomorrow for all Nigerians.

Grateful for the invaluable contributions of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Orubebe resolutely reaffirms his confidence in the President as an indispensable asset to the nation’s relentless pursuit of growth and development. Ultimately, he eagerly anticipates a flourishing Nigeria under Tinubu’s enduring leadership, characterized by sustained progress, unity, and national prosperity.
